Demigod-Level Soul Beast

As the crowd cheered "Long live the Dragon God," Lin Yi's lips curved upwards. He hadn't expected to reach this point after arriving on the Douluo Continent. Just as he was basking in his success, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest: Breaking through level 100. Reward: Sea of Consciousness expanded to infinite size."

"Infinite size! To think such a good reward would come from completing this quest. No wonder the conditions for failure were so harsh."

Lin Yi himself hadn't anticipated such a generous reward for breaking through level 100. As a Soul Master, while Soul Power was paramount, spiritual power was also indispensable. If Tang San hadn't possessed strong spiritual power back then, how could he have become the God King he was now?

"Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness has actually expanded!"

Tang San, seated on his throne, stared at Lin Yi in the mortal realm in disbelief. Although his own Sea of Consciousness had long been expanded to infinite size, that was only after he entered the God Realm, relying on the Sea God's divine power and the Heart of the Ocean. And that had taken him hundreds of years. Yet, Lin Yi was so young and had already reached this stage.

"This Lin Yi is truly extraordinary," Xiao Wu chimed in with praise.

"What a perfect successor candidate, why did he have to choose to inherit the Dragon God's position! Oh my heavens!"

Tang San's voice, filled with regret, echoed throughout the Heavenly Realm. He was filled with remorse. If he hadn't mentioned the Dragon God's position back then, Lin Yi would undoubtedly have chosen to inherit his current divine position. But now, it was too late.

If Tang San had felt a bit of regret when Lin Yi chose the Dragon God's position earlier, he was now utterly consumed by it.

"Alliance Leader, we..."

Zhang Xu's face turned ashen. After all, he had contributed the most among them. Not only had he offered his Soul Power, but he had also injected all the power of his Soul Rings into the Imperial Sky Sword, which had barely managed to cleave open the barrier between the mortal and God Realms. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Lin Yi to break through in such a short time.

"Sect Master Zhang, please do not disturb the Alliance Leader," Li Dongcheng said weakly.

Lin Yi, who was suspended in mid-air, heard their conversation and quickly descended, releasing his Soul Power to help the sect leaders recover theirs.

It was known that Lin Yi's Soul Power now carried the power of the God Realm. Although Zhang Xu and the others had depleted their Soul Power, with Lin Yi's assistance, their complexions began to regain their color.

"Many thanks, Alliance Leader."

Zhang Xu and Li Dongcheng clasped their fists, about to bow to Lin Yi, when they were stopped by an invisible surge of Soul Power. They knew that the source of this power was naturally Lin Yi.

"Everyone, there's no need for this. Without your assistance, I, Lin Yi, would never have been able to reach level 100. Helping you recover your Soul Power is the least I can do. Do not speak, just accept my Soul Power."

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhang Xu and the others said no more. They closed their eyes, sat on the ground, and received the Soul Power being transmitted by Lin Yi.

Pei Qinhu, who had been guarding Lin Yi from the air, watched this scene with absolute determination. He knew that nothing must disturb Lin Yi. His expression became focused, and he would immediately strike down even a fly that dared to fly past him.

Time ticked by, second by second. Lin Yi didn't know how much Soul Power he had transferred to Zhang Xu, Li Dongcheng, and the others, yet he felt no fatigue whatsoever.

"Is this the power of becoming a God at level 100?"

Lin Yi chuckled. He hadn't expected it to feel so exhilarating after reaching level 100. Of course, he didn't realize that the lack of fatigue had little to do with breaking through level 100 and much more to do with his infinitely expanded Sea of Consciousness.

"Alliance Leader!"

"What is it?"

Lin Yi looked up at Pei Qinhu in the sky. Seeing the unusual look on his face, Lin Yi's heart tightened. He looked into the distance and detected a semi-divine level Soul Power aura.

"Semi-divine level? Could it be that the Storm Dragon is not dead yet?"

Lin Yi quickly dismissed this thought. If the Storm Dragon were still alive, he would never have been able to inherit its divine position. So, who was this semi-divine level Soul Power aura coming from?

Just as Lin Yi was pondering this, Pei Qinhu shouted, "Alliance Leader, it's the Soul Beast, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!"

"What did you say? The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?!"

"That's right! Alliance Leader, what should we do?"

For a moment, Lin Yi was at a loss. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's status was higher than his own martial soul. Although that was the case, he, having broken through level 100, was not afraid. However, he couldn't disengage now, as he still needed to help Li Dongcheng and the others recover their Soul Power, making it impossible for him to confront the enemy.

"Pei Qinhu, go and converse with it. Find out its intentions. A semi-divine level Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is already an ancient Soul Beast of hundreds of millions of years. You are no match for it. If it has malicious intent, try your best to stall it. I will be there as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

Pei Qinhu responded, heading towards the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. Lin Yi also accelerated his efforts to help them recover their Soul Power as quickly as possible so he could go out and deal with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

"I hope you mean no harm."

"Brother, will Lin Yi be able to overcome this danger this time? According to Da Ming and Er Ming, this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is not to be trifled with. If it weren't for the Asura God's divine power, Er Ming would have almost been defeated by it."

"There's no need to worry. This is an opportunity for Lin Yi."

"Opportunity?"

Xiao Wu didn't understand what Tang San meant. Although Lin Yi had broken through level 100, he hadn't yet inherited the Dragon God's divine power. And the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, being the foremost among the Dragon race's Soul Beasts, was already at a semi-divine level and could easily control one percent of the divine power that originally belonged to the Dragon God. However, even that was not something Lin Yi could easily handle.

"Don't worry, just watch."

A cold sweat broke out on Lin Yi's forehead. He didn't know how Pei Qinhu was faring or what the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's intentions were.

"Faster! Faster!"

Lin Yi sped up his Soul Power transmission. If his Sea of Consciousness hadn't been expanded to infinite size by the system, he would have already fainted.

Just then, Pei Qinhu's body crashed heavily to the ground from the sky. Even though he was a Titled Douluo, this impact instantly dispelled his martial soul possession, and blood spurted from his mouth.

"Pei Qinhu?!"

"Alliance Leader, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's intentions are hostile. Your subordinate is no match for it."

After saying this, Pei Qinhu lost consciousness.

"Who broke through level 100 and stole my Dragon God position!"

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and dragon roars faintly echoed within the clouds. A golden dragon body appeared above the clouds. It had five claws, the symbol of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's identity.

"Damn it! It had to show up now!"

"Are you the one who inherited the Dragon God's position?"

The colossal dragon eyes fixed on Lin Yi. From him, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon sensed the Soul Power of a level 100 cultivator. If it couldn't wield one percent of the Dragon God's divine power, would it dare to provoke a level 100 Soul Master?
